History: From the Home Front and the Front Lines

Close to 1700 former members of the United States Armed Forces die each day. Most of their stories and experiences are lost to history. The Veterans History Project, created by an act of Congress, collects and preserves the records of these veterans. The online exhibition displays materials held by the Library of Congress, and includes pages from scrapbooks, flags, military papers, and diaries, plus a bibliography indexed by military conflict. <http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/treasures/homefront-home.html>
